Vitalik Buterin Releases GKR Protocol Tutorial: Trading Implications for Ethereum ETH ZK Rollups and STARK Ecosystem
According to @VitalikButerin, a GKR protocol tutorial is now live on vitalik.eth.limo and is presented as an educational post rather than a governance or product announcement. Source: https://twitter.com/VitalikButerin/status/1980063617002426751 https://vitalik.eth.limo/general/2025/10/19/gkr.html GKR refers to the Goldwasser Kalai Rothblum interactive proof protocol for efficiently verifying layered arithmetic circuits via the sum check technique introduced in 2008.

FIPS 205 SLH-DSA: Leading Post-Quantum Crypto Signature for Secure Blockchain Address Formats
According to Adam Back, FIPS 205's SLH-DSA stands out as the strongest post-quantum secure digital signature candidate currently available, despite its relatively large signature size (source: Adam Back on Twitter, June 3, 2025). He recommends integrating SLH-DSA into new blockchain address formats alongside Schnorr taproot to address concerns over premature quantum threats. This move is particularly relevant for traders and blockchain developers seeking robust quantum-resistant security. Adam Back also highlighted the potential for future enhancements through signature aggregation using STARKs, suggesting further efficiency improvements for high-volume blockchain applications (source: Adam Back on Twitter, June 3, 2025). These developments may have a significant impact on cryptocurrency trading by increasing long-term asset security and supporting advanced blockchain scalability. |
